	Well, that really sucks. It may have something to do with the Olympics taking place this summer. ESPN most likely will want to air as many events as possible, as this is a big deal. Still, It really sounds dumb to completely halt the tournament for 3 months, players would totally lose their focus.

	the WSOP moved it back to November so they can build up the hype around the final 9 players. all players will get 9th in prize money then given the chance to build their game by coaching and getting more of there name out before final table. they also showing the lead up on tv in the break to make a bigger lead up to final table. it mainly a media and hype of WSOP move. poker dying down a little so why not do something to try and get everyone back. it cant hurt to try it. players that are at final table could get more opatunateys and tv could be better because of the break. if it screws up i spose they can go back to old format next year. it should bring up alot of debate about poker so cant be to bad.

	i think is very good idea if you get final table you get very good deals from big poker sites--one of the players sometimes play with me just got nice deal with ladbrokes (Jon Kalmar he finish 5 place last year}

	I just read a great e-book about online poker. It teaches a very basic method that lets even a poker rookie profit hard from online poker. Very simple idea and a fast read!
